A Date with Dublin

To mark St Patrick's Day, another chance to hear Elizabeth Alker's celebration of the best ambient and neo-classical music being made in the city of Dublin.

To welcome in St Patrick's Day, Elizabeth Alker looks across the Irish Sea to shine a light on the best in ambient, experimental and neo-classical music hailing from the city of Dublin. This is a repeat broadcast of a programme that originally went out on last year's Bloomsday, the 16th of June, the date upon which James Joyce鈥檚 remarkable modernist novel Ulysses is set. Like the book, the day offers a celebration of that most illustrious and musical of cities, Dublin. Joyce himself was a trained singer, forever bursting into song, and his obsession with music spilled into his book, just as the Bloomsday revellers spill into the Dublin streets.
